This Year's Model Updates:

The V8 Premium Sport is now called the V8 Ultimate. Minor suspension and transmission upgrades provide less noise and smoother shifts. Sirius Satellite Radio is now a dealer-installed option.

Pros:
  • Confident steering and handling, optional V8 delivers plenty of smooth and quiet power, comfortable and roomy interior, optional THX-certified sound system.
Cons:
  • Manual transmission no longer offered, build quality lags behind German and Japanese competitors, not as nimble as other sport sedans in its class.

  • Lincoln LS beats BMW 5 Series - 2004 Lincoln LS
    By -

    My wife owns a 2004 BMW and my LS handles better, gets better gas mileage, built better, has more power and costs $10K less than the BMW 5 series. I traded in a Lexus 330 for this LS and am glad I did. The rear wheel drive in the LS handles much better in emergency situations than the loose feel of the Lexus and the luxury feel is equal if not better.

    I love this car, but it has some problems. The car is very jumpy and has very bad MPG. My transmission went out around 92000 miles my catalytic converter is messing up, the 6 disk cd changer has disk error every time i try to change cds. My driver side back door doesnt lock by its self any more, but other than that the car is great. Its fun to drive has very good get up, very good sound system.

  • Mechanical nightmare - 2004 Lincoln LS
    By -

    From the day I drove it off the lot it has been in the shop three times for transmission repairs (starting at under 1,000 miles). The engine stalled out on me and would only run on a few cylinders at 80 miles (yes 80). It is now in the shop for the third time for a rear main engine seal that they cant seem to fix (over three weeks in the shop now). The Electronics keep going out (navigation, stereo front power windows and moon roof) all at the same time. They stop functioning for days at a time and then start working again. The dealer has not been able to isolate this problem. The dealer is beside themselves on all of these issues.

  • Blind spots - 2004 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Front head rests are too wide, blocks view. Back head rests blocked too much of the back window, therefore, we remove them when there are passengers in the back. Just too many blind spots. This is our 2nd LS (2001). I dont think we will buy another one.

  • My Second LS - 2004 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I previously leased a 2001 LS and had some problems with reliability. However, the drive experience more than made up for the problems. When the lease renewal time came, I did not hesitate to stay with the LS. The increased horsepower and improved sound proofing and other tweaks to the design and ride make me glad I stayed with the LS. This is one great ride and a real blast to drive!

    Excellent American vehicle Power, luxury and super sound

  • a worthy successor to the old mark serie - 2004 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Purchased this one for about $12k off list at end of model year. Used 90% local and 10% highway driving, so the miles are only around 10k per year or so. Very good value for the money, even taking into account the depreciation factor since we got it so cheap. Black with a light camel interior shows no wear even after 5 years in the. W. Tx. Sun, and thats saying something since its never spent a day under cover. Lincoln should have taken the rear doors out and kept this as a 2 door mark. big mistake as the fwd that replaced it is just a corporate car... My familys had lincolns since the 60s, but Lincoln is clearly in trouble now. Very sad.
